Waffles

Waffles are a batter-based breakfast or dessert item found in many cuisines and made by cooking batter in a patterned iron to produce a crisp exterior and pocketed interior. They are commonly served sweet with syrup, fruit or whipped cream, but appear in savory preparations as well. In terms of nutrition, Waffles are energy-dense and typically made from refined flour and added fats; they provide about 6.2g of protein per 100g but are often modest in fiber and higher in fat. From a health perspective, commercially made or restaurant waffles are usually highly processed and lower in fiber, though homemade versions using whole grains, less sugar and more milk or eggs will have a better amino‑acid profile and more vitamins and minerals.
